Leboeuf urges Chelsea, Liverpool target Pastore to quit PSG

Former Chelsea defender Franck Leboeuf has urged Javier Pastore to leave PSG.

The Argentina international has found himself on the outer this season and been linked with Chelsea, Liverpool and Sevilla. Eric Cantona also recommended him to Manchester United last week.

Lebouef agrees with Cantona that Pastore needs to leave in January.

He told RMC: "I advise him to leave, especially if he has ambition because he cannot dream to be part of the eleven of this team.

"He was often injured, he was one of the first to arrive, he is an extraordinary player, I think he is a fantastic player but with his injuries, (Unai) Emery cannot think of him anymore. Pastore must ask the question, if he wants to continue playing football must he stay at PSG?

"Given his talent, Javier, he must leave, he will not have his place, he will not be happy and could create a dressing room problem. Especially that it seems that Emery does not really care about substitutes."
